Mr Umang Patel
Physiotherapist
Umang graduated from Auckland University of Technology in 2025. During his clinical year in Tauranga, he gained experience across acute, neurological, and musculoskeletal settings, developing a strong interest in sports and musculoskeletal physiotherapy. Umang brings experience as a sideline medic, having worked with both rugby and cricket teams. Throughout his life, Umang played a range of sports, including cricket at an age-representative level, and also enjoyed hockey and football. Like many athletes, he experienced his fair share of injuries and spent plenty of time receiving physiotherapy. Seeing how important physiotherapy was in helping him return to the sport he loved inspired Umang to pursue physiotherapy, and in doing that, work towards supporting others in the same way. I enjoy working closely with people through their rehabilitation journey and finding the best approach for their individual needs and goals. I aim to create a fun and friendly environment while working collaboratively with people through their recovery. My approach often includes exercise-based rehabilitation, combined with hands-on treatment and practical strategies to help people return to the things they love most. Outside of work, I enjoy going to the gym, playing cricket and golf, watching sport, and spending time with friends and family. On weekends you’ll usually find me doing something active; whether that’s at a sports park, exploring around New Zealand, or catching up with friends. View details »
Mr Shane Gallogly
Physiotherapist
Since moving to Auckland over two years ago, Shane has gained great experience working in private practice physiotherapy and alongside club rugby teams. Prior to this, he worked in the acute hospital setting in Ireland for over two years, after graduating from the Masters Physiotherapy programme at University College Cork in 2020. As a senior physiotherapist at Rehab Co, Shane has a huge passion for supporting people and providing evidence-based advice for managing pain and injury. He has a strong background in exercise-based rehabilitation and loves to combine these rehabilitation skills with a blend of practical advice and manual therapy to help people achieve their goals and return to their best. In the clinic, Shane treats a wide range of injuries and pain presentations, with a special interest in ACL rehabilitation and other post-surgical cases, tendon injuries, and low back pain. Outside of work, he loves staying active in his spare time by running, playing gaelic football, surfing, golf, tennis and — a lot of hiking. View details »
